Oh, Laurie, jsut sent you an e-mail too but THANKS for the sweet card. Those 2 colors (on the card AND the two you mentioend) are becoming my favs....melon mambo, craft or crumbcake now, rich razzleberry and cherry cobbler......I think it must be becausee there is food mentioned in their names...or things that remind me of food. I wanna eat them up! Have fun w/ Auntie!

The boys had a friend sleep over last night so they were up at 6:30.....so I turned on the TV in my room and watched part of The Proposal. I missed the first hour so DVRed it for tomorrow morning! LOL!

Work called me at 8:30 so I HAD to get out of bed! Ha! I have a workshop I hve to go to a few days before school starts.

So, uploaded to my blog a few things I've been working on. Holly, you know those pencil wrappers?? I took that idea and another idea that was for a slide box for 4 votive candles or 4 pencils and made my own box for 8 pencils. The one for 4 just seemed too small. Anyway, a few are on my blog. I'm horrible with dimentions but think I finally have it figured out.

Hopped on the elliptical for 20 and feel like I have a bit more energy. Cleaned the kitchen. I relaly need to mop the floors. Not sure as I have mopped them all month. And, with the dog, they are getting GROSS!

Grace, I'm counting down w/ you!!!

Cha-Cha-CHA!!!! H ope you girls have a fun time. Would be fun to go to.....

Where is Lois??

Leona, so glad you posted a few days ago and I totally forgot to say anything till now. I think my memory stick is a few gigs behind. Back to work in the office....holy moley!!! But, the girls are big enough now it shouldn't be AS bad as with newborns. Have you found childcare???

PS, what did the lady tell you you need to do to get the house ready again? I'm guessing washing walls and painting trim? Ugh.....

Lori, how is K and how was the day yesterday??

Well, I better get inthe shower...I really smell now! LOL! And then fix these boys some lunch. The neighbor boy is still over here. I'm going to have to study after lunch though. I can't wait til lnext summer when I can paper craft and do fun stuff all day long!!!!!

We are going to the children's museum tomorrow w/ my sis and boys so that will be fun. Our pass expires on Saturday so Iwanted to get 1 more trip in before it expires.

I can't believe it's been a year already since I have had NO daycare. I think it will be a year the first week of August sometime. It's been sooo nice!

Well you all have a good rest of the day....today is TH already. I was thinking it was WEd. Weeks go by so fast in the summer.

Beth went to your blog they are supper cute!!! I went to leave a comment but my google account isn't working. I love them!! Great job!

not a good day ladies - emotional frustrating and upsetting.
I am not going back to the office. To save you time - men are not sympathtic or understand and instead of saying what needs to be said they say everything else to make you more upset.
At least I do not have to expand my wardrobe - jammies work great. (I am being sarcastic)

Wendykins blueberry picking I remember doing that with my gram, now I just buy them at the store. lol

Beth wowzer almost a year since no day care holy cows time has flown!

Mowed the lawn when I got home, man am I tired today. Tonight were having shrimp and BP I got a big bag of shrimp on sale for $2.50 awhile ago about 80 of them in there pretty good deal I think. Better get the taters in the oven. Later gals!

Yep, let me go find it.

Freeze raw, shredded zucchini in 2 cup quantities.

I am having a hard time getting my mojo together after today. I have to have my PWCO project in next Saturday on top of my weekly post. It may seem like a lot of time but I only stamp Friday night, saturday night and sunday nights. I am tired and mojo left.

Home from CHA! It was fun, but you know gals, doing a group get together with friends, like that swap we did where I first met you in person Karen, or that Heritage thingie tour we did in Indiana Beth, or seeing you Traci, is ten times more fun.

Beth, you'll be happy to hear though, that this time I didn't buy some mysterious ingredients that I saw at a demonstration that I then brought home and pondered, hmmmm what do I do with this now? I've forgotten!

Here is my dork moment of the day . . . there are five parking garages all in a row and I spent at least 45 minutes trying to find my car. I had JUST called DH convinced that somehow the car had gotten towed, when I found out the elevator would only stop on the second floor if you went DOWN in the elevator but wouldn't stop on the second floor if you were going UP. So I was convinced that I really had lost my mind and hadn't parked on the second floor because for the longest time there wasn't one until I was coming down from searching the fourth floor and found it . . . okay you can picture me doing that I'm sure!!!

Going to take littlest DD out for DQ and then I'll pop back in and read what you all have been doing today .

Peggysue, that was so fun when we met at mom's and when we all did the swap in Chicago. We had a day to just be together. We need to do it again, me thinks!!!

Oh, dear about the parking garage. Stuff like that baffles my mind.

Leona, holy smoley guacamoli....I guess it's zucchini not guacamoli..that I can't spell. LOL! I froze some in chunks before we went of vacation and just fried up the chunks las tnight. WAs really good after all the water boiled off and you could actually FRY it! Ha! I have another bag in the freezer and I need to back some bread too so will check out Karen's blog for the secret recipe.

Karen, so sorry for the poopers that are happening for you right now. Never fun!!

We have company here. I played one game w/ them..ti's a fun card game called Bang. Old West game and it's sort of fun. Then took care of our friends 3 mo. baby..gave her her bottle. She's so sweet. Put the boys to bed and fell asleep for about 30 with Sammers. Then got up and folded 2 loads of clothes. These are the friends that we love that Doug enjoys playing their games with. I play sometimes but can't keep my brain engaged for hours and hours of it like the love.

Joyce, picked up a tip from a TLC show, Holmes on homes, that the host, Mike Holmes, has primer tinted the same color as the paint and then one coat of paint covers it much easier. This particular show was on re-doing a bathroom.

Aww....Karen, I'm so sorry you are tired. Do you get to use a babysitter for some free time for yourself ever? Once every couple of months may be nice, even if she could just take them to the park or something for a little while.

Leona, I freeze my zucchini in 2 cup quantities as well. I don't squeeze extra water, but just let it drain in a collander.

Wendy, I made raspberry and blackberry jelly this year. I have it almost everyday on my moring toast. Yummers! I freeze my blueberries whole for dessert, never made blueberry jelly.

I won some of the new Webster's paper from CHA today. Woohooo! I get to pick 2 of their newest lines. I chose Waiting for Santa, and Hollywood Vogue. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I love the smell of new paper!

Leona, you don't want to drain the zucchini for my recipe. Keep all the moisture. Also, if you freeze the zucchini and then thaw it to make the bread the water will have separated from the zucchini. Dump all of the water and zucchini in the bowl. Trust me on this one!

I am having a hard time getting my mojo together after today. I have to have my PWCO project in next Saturday on top of my weekly post. It may seem like a lot of time but I only stamp Friday night, saturday night and sunday nights. I am tired and mojo left.

Isn't it amazing when you have a dead line all the sudden wham what little time you had gone. Sometimes I struggle getting the Monday 3D challenge done. Hope your mojo comes back!

PS now that was funny about the parking garage I too have lost my vehicle. lol

Joyce I love the smell of new paper too

Not sure what the plan is for today, we were gonna cut fire wood but it rained last night again. We just can't catch a break on the rain here. It's raining about every other day sure makes it hard to try to do anything. lol

PS - I know what you mean...it is always more fun with a group of girlfriends...

Traci - I am thinking of visiting my friend Anne in Longmont sometime next year

God Bless all of my dear Dork sisters...today...

Can you believe that I am still tired from last week? LOL

Going to take some photos of swaps that I made and post them on my blog in a little while...I thought that I took photos the other day, but for the life of me cannot find them...must be a DORK think...LOL...

Ken is cooking...making a dough for some savory tarts, onion and mushroom...to take to a wine tasting tonight...

Still waiting to hear Joyce's big news!!!! Its almost tomorrw, in fact, in several parts of the world its been tomorrow for hours already! So I think its time you told us!!!!

I have been painting all evening. Had my mom over today and fun, fun, fun, Allison and I went looking at wedding dresses this afternoon!!!! She looks absolutely gorgeous in all of them, what a great time we had.

Oh, Peggysue, that sounds so much fun. Your mom went w/ you too shopping? That's really fun. I caught an episode of Say Yes To The Dress on TLC the other morning when I was on the elliptical. Fun show and crazy ladies looking for the right dress. Some are so nice and sweet and others are stinky poops! It is very nice when they find the right one and all...I always get teary eyed.

Lori, 6 Flags sounds fun. I'm so glad you guys got a pass. Just give you something fun to do for 'free' now. How many times to you have to go to get your money's worth? I k now when we had the pass to the Children's Museum here (it expired yesterday) we only had to go 1 more time to get our money out of it so we basically went 2-3 more times for free.

Beth, if we had a hidden camera, you could watch Wipeout reality style here...we got home last evening, not a consumable crumb in the house, too tired to shop this morning!!
An early morning after a really late night at my brother's house...and then got to Denver and had to go to a car dealership to sign papers for oldest daughter's car. We had given her a price range she could look at for a car when she graduated to give her a good start...and she found the best deal (thanks to my bil who is a car dealer and scouted it all out) and took no money for himself...so anyway, she has one super nice car now and I am tired.
I feel so badly for DH, he had to turn around at 8 this morning and leave to California for a week.
So back from vacay and back to reality...so soon it goes!!
We had a really nice time though...and I will have the memories!!

Missed you gals, hope everyone is holding up well.
A blessed Sunday to you too!!
